JWST NIRCam survey of 11 globular clusters detects multiple populations in low-mass stars, showing discrete sequences in some clusters and continuous distributions or helium/oxygen variations in others, plus an M-dwarf gap in NGC 104.

abstract
An accurate geometric distortion solution for the Hubble Space Telescope UVIS-channel of Wide Field Camera 3 is the first step towards its use for high precision astrometry. In this work we present an average correction that enables a relative astrometric accuracy of ~1 mas (in each axis for well exposed stars) in three broad-band ultraviolet filters (F225W, F275W, and F336W). More data and a better understanding of the instrument are required to constrain the solution to a higher level of accuracy.

Globular Clusters in the Time of the JWST. I. Survey Design and First Results on Multiple Populations and Beyond
JWST NIRCam survey of 11 globular clusters detects multiple populations in low-mass stars, showing discrete sequences in some clusters and continuous distributions or helium/oxygen variations in others, plus an M-dwarf gap in NGC 104.
